GMB: Richard Arnold on Ali Bastian's breast cancer treatment Hollyoaks actress Ali Bastian has been diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. During Monday's edition (September 9) of Good Morning Britain , hosted by Ed Balls and Susanna Reid , entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold shared the devastating news on air. "A long road ahead for the family and we send very much love," Richard said as Susanna agreed.
The 42-year-old revealed she was left in "total shock" and is currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy treatments. Furthermore, plans are set for her to have a mastectomy and radiotherapy treatment early next year. Opening up about her feelings, Ali told OK! Magazine: "It was a total shock.
I have mornings when I wake up and I've forgotten...
and then suddenly I remember. I'm still trying to process it." The actress, known for her roles in The Bill and Doctors, first noticed something was wrong while breastfeeding her daughter Isabella.
Initially brushed off as potentially a blocked duct by doctors, her continued discomfort led her to seek further examination at a specialist clinic. It was there that tests confirmed the presence of cancer. Her husband, David O'Mahony, shared the emotional moment of diagnosis: "I was with the kids and Ali stuck her head round the door and said that cancerous cells had turned up in the biopsy," he said.
